Web UI: option values keep the editor's layout

A shown option value wrapped long lines back to the left edge, losing
their indentation, and had different padding and width from the editor,
so the text and column moved when Edit opened. Values now don't wrap (a
long line scrolls), with the editor's padding and the same width. The
"{ } around the list are optional" hint only shows for options that end
in a list, not rate-limit, which only has one inside.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Upgrading from 0.4
+
+- New exposure warnings (docs/exposure.md) appear for views reachable from
+  the internet, e.g. "no rate-limit" or "version visible" on an external
+  view: fix them from the Exposure page, or acknowledge them. A change
+  that newly opens a public view up (an open resolver, say) now needs
+  `--accept-risk`, or the checkbox on the Changes page.
+
+- Once you use address ranges, the database can't go back to 0.4: its
+  parser doesn't know them. Remove the ranges first if you need to
+  downgrade.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Option values in the web UI looked different from the editor: a long
+  line wrapped back to the left edge, losing its indentation, and the
+  column changed width when Edit opened. Values now keep their layout
+  (a long line scrolls), with the same width and padding as the editor.
+  The "{ } around the list are optional" hint only shows for options that
+  end in a list (not rate-limit, which only has one inside).
+- Query statistics skipped every query signed with a TSIG key (named
+  writes "/key NAME" after the client's port), such as queries with a
+  view's key: they are counted now.
+- A changeset with a staged record delete could not be applied after that
+  record was deleted elsewhere (e.g. with the CLI), and it was hard to see
+  which operation to remove: the error only said "record 832 does not
+  exist". A staged delete of a record that is already gone now counts as
+  done (with a warning), and the other operations that no longer apply
+  (an edit or disable of a deleted record, a change to an object changed
+  since) are named with their number and summary. The Changes page marks
+  that operation and offers to remove it right in the error.
+
 ### Added
 
+- Internet exposure ([docs/exposure.md](docs/exposure.md)): Jarl works out
+  which views are reachable from the internet (match-clients ending in a
+  catch-all; for a server without views, open allow-query and a
+  non-private listen address), with a per-view override, and checks them:
+  response rate limiting, open resolvers, ANY answers (minimal-any), cache
+  snooping, open NOTIFY and zone transfers, BIND version and host name,
+  management interfaces. Fixes are staged like any change, including
+  response rate limiting from ISC's example in log-only mode, with your
+  secondaries exempt, and a later "start enforcing". With statistics on,
+  Jarl reads named's rate limiting log lines and shows what was (or would
+  have been) limited: counts, client networks and names (Exposure page,
+  `jarl stats breakdown rrl`, top lists `ratelimited`, Prometheus
+  `jarl_ratelimit_logged_total`). A change that newly opens a public view
+  up must be confirmed (checkbox on the Changes page, `--accept-risk`, API
+  `accept_risk`; 409 `confirm_risk` otherwise). Findings can be
+  acknowledged with a reason: they stay visible as info, with who, when
+  and why. Exposure page and dashboard card in the web UI, `jarl
+  exposure` (fix, ack, unack), `GET /exposure`.
+- `jarl changeset show`, `diff`, `apply`, `discard` and `remove` take the
+  changeset from `-C` or `JARL_CHANGESET` when no ID is given
+  (`jarl changeset apply`). A changeset from `JARL_CHANGESET` is now
+  checked before it is used, for staging too: it must exist, be open and
+  be yours, so a stale export (an applied changeset, or an ID that later
+  turned into someone else's web UI draft) can't silently take your
+  changes; the error says what to do. Commands say on stderr which
+  changeset from `JARL_CHANGESET` they use, and `apply`/`discard` remind
+  you to `unset JARL_CHANGESET`. `-C` and ID arguments are used as given.
+- Address ranges such as `10.0.10.101-10.0.10.199` or
+  `2001:db8::100-2001:db8::1ff` (also `!` negated, and with spaces around
+  the dash) wherever an address match list is used: ACLs, views'
+  match-clients and match-destinations, options such as allow-query, and
+  blocking's client groups ([docs/concepts.md](docs/concepts.md)). Jarl
+  keeps the range as written and writes the fewest prefixes that cover
+  exactly that range to named.conf, with the range as a comment. The web
+  UI shows what a range becomes while you type it (`GET
+  /catalog/ranges`). Mistakes are refused when entered: an end that isn't
+  a full address, the start after the end, IPv4 mixed with IPv6, a range
+  in an option that takes no address match list (forwarders). A range
+  covered by an earlier element is reported as never matching, a range of
+  every address counts as "any" for the open resolver and open transfer
+  checks, and an IPv6 range in the IPv4-mapped space gets a warning. ACL
+  names can no longer look like a range.
+- Prometheus metrics at `/metrics` ([docs/metrics.md](docs/metrics.md)),
+  set up in the new `metrics:` section of jarl.yaml (off by default).
+  `metrics.allow` lists the addresses that may scrape (loopback by
+  default), `metrics.token` lets anyone who sends it as a bearer token
+  scrape, and `metrics.listen` adds addresses that serve only `/metrics`
+  (for a Prometheus server elsewhere). Root and jarld's own user can also
+  scrape on the local socket.
+  - Health, always: named up, recursive and TCP clients against their
+    limits, adopted, open changesets, last apply, validation problems by
+    severity, drifted files, object counts, the last backup (and failure,
+    and whether it is stale), blocking paused, each blocklist's entries,
+    last check and change and whether it fails, the DNSSEC phase of every
+    signed zone, and when API tokens expire.
+  - With query statistics on: named's counters (queries, result codes,
+    record types, UDP/TCP, authoritative/recursive, rate limiting, upstream
+    round-trip times, DNSSEC validation, cache hits) and Jarl's (logged
+    responses per view and zone, blocked queries per blocklist), as
+    counters since jarld started, plus named's memory, CPU, threads, cache
+    and sockets, and the collector's health.
+  - Example queries and alert rules, checked with promtool.
+
+## [0.4.0] - 2026-10-11
+
+### Upgrading from 0.3
+
+- Back up first (`sudo jarld backup`).
+- When jarld first starts, it rewrites named's configuration: options
+  move into their new fixed order, and every view gets its view key in
+  `match-clients` and `keys.conf`. It is checked with named-checkconf
+  before named reloads, like any apply. Files you changed by hand are left
+  alone; the log then says to run `jarl resync`.
+- The systemd unit changed (it allows `AF_NETLINK`). The package replaces
+  it; an override that adds `AF_NETLINK` (`systemctl edit jarl`) does no
+  harm and can be removed.
+- The database moves to schema 8 (disabled zones, client groups) as
+  jarld starts.
+- If statistics showed a spike after views were created or changed, see
+  "Statistics" under Fixed: the bad minutes can be removed from
+  `/var/lib/jarl/stats.db` (minute rows have `res = 'm'`; the hours and
+  days that include them are `'h'` and `'d'`).
+
+### Added
+
+- Different blocking for different devices (docs/blocking.md), like
+  Pi-hole's groups, in one view and without loading any list twice.
+  Client groups put devices (addresses, networks or ACLs of them) at a
+  blocking step: `off` (only your rules), `normal` (the default), or steps
+  you add above it, each including the lists of the steps below. Lists
+  start at a step. Jarl puts a small "gate" policy zone in front of each
+  step's lists that lets the devices below that step through. Web UI: a
+  Devices panel on the Blocking page and a step on each list. CLI: `jarl
+  block step`, `jarl block group`, `jarl blocklist update --step`. API:
+  `/blocking/steps`, `/blocking/groups`. Database schema 8.
+- View keys: every view gets a TSIG key, `jarl-view-NAME`, at the front of
+  its match-clients, so a query signed with it lands in that view from any
+  address. Jarl signs its delegation check's queries to this server's own
+  addresses with the key of the zone's view: before, they got whichever
+  view matched the server's own address (usually internal), so the check
+  could report the wrong serial for the external view. `jarl view key
+  VIEW` shows a key, for `dig -k` (docs/views.md). The first apply after
+  upgrading adds the keys to named.conf and keys.conf.
+- Server statistics: named's memory (resident, and its own count) and
+  CPU use, its cache size, sockets, and recursive and TCP clients against
+  their limits; the host's memory and load; free space where zone files,
+  logs and Jarl's data are. Memory and CPU are kept over time like the
+  other statistics. Statistics page → Server, `jarl stats server`, API
+  `/stats/server`. Read from named's statistics channel, `rndc status` and
+  /proc, with no extra privileges.
+- CLI: the record commands that change records take several views,
+  `--view internal,external`, or `--view all`, and make the change in each,
+  as one changeset (all views or none).
+- Blocking can be paused until resumed, like Pi-hole's "indefinitely":
+  `jarl block pause indefinitely`, **Until I resume** on the Blocking page,
+  `{"indefinitely": true}` in the API.
+- Disabled zones: a zone can be disabled instead of deleted. named stops
+  loading it (its zone statement is left out of named.conf), while Jarl
+  keeps it with its records, options and history, still editable;
+  enabling it serves it as it is then. Disabling says what clients get
+  instead (recursion, or REFUSED). Signed zones can't be disabled. Web
+  UI: Disable/Enable on the zone page, a badge in the zone list. CLI:
+  `jarl zone disable|enable`. API: `PATCH /zones/{zone}` with
+  `{"disabled": true}`. Database schema 7.

 ### Changed
 
+- Web UI: each view has its own page, like a zone: Settings (match lists,
+  comment, colour), Options and Zones tabs (with **New zone in VIEW**),
+  and Delete. The Views page lists them in order, with the arrows that
+  reorder them; view links everywhere open the view's page.
+- Web UI: A and AAAA records have a **+ CNAME** button that fills in the
+  add form with a CNAME pointing to the record's name, leaving only the
+  alias's name to type. It shows when the row is hovered or focused
+  (always on touch screens).
+- Blocking page: how many queries each blocklist blocked in the last 24
+  hours, and your rules together, with statistics on (linking to the
+  Statistics page).
+- Options are kept in one fixed order, in named.conf, the web UI and the
+  CLI: grouped by topic (files, listening, access control, recursion and
+  forwarding, DNSSEC, transfers and notify, then the rest), alphabetical
+  within a group. The same option is now in the same place in every view
+  and zone. The first apply after upgrading reorders named.conf (a diff
+  that only moves lines). Top-level statements keep their order.
+- Options that end in a list (`allow-transfer`, `forwarders`,
+  `listen-on`, ...) can be given without their braces, in the web UI, CLI
+  and API: `10.0.10.53; key xfer` becomes `{ 10.0.10.53; key xfer; }`.
+  Before, only some server options (those edited one element per line)
+  added them.
+- The dashboard's configuration checks include named-checkconf's own
+  warnings about the running configuration (such as `both "recursion no;"
+  and "allow-recursion" active`), which before only showed while applying.
+  The CLI now prints them after an apply too.
+- Statistics page: cards and tiles fill their rows instead of leaving one
+  alone beside an empty space, and the queries and failed answers charts
+  have the same margins, so their time axes line up.
+- Dashboard: options have their own tile; "0 TSIG keys · 22 options" read

 ### Fixed
 
+- Reverting a changeset added needless "restore" operations for
+  blocklists, rules and views that hadn't changed: copying the state
+  turned their empty view lists into missing ones.
+- Under the shipped systemd unit, jarld couldn't list the host's
+  addresses (it needs a netlink socket, which `RestrictAddressFamilies`
+  didn't allow), so the name server checks didn't recognize this server's
+  own addresses. The Name servers tab then queried them like another
+  server's, and the delegation check didn't sign those queries with the
+  view's key: with views, both got the view matching the server's own
+  address (usually internal) and reported a wrong serial. The unit now
+  allows `AF_NETLINK`, and without it jarld reads the addresses from
+  /proc.
+- Statistics: after a reconfig that added, removed or recreated views
+  (creating the first view, for instance), a minute could count everything
+  since named started: millions of queries in an hour. A per-view counter
+  (cache, upstream times, validation) going down was taken for a restart
+  of named. Now only a new boot time means a restart, and a counter that
+  goes down counts 0 for that minute.
 - Blocking page, checking a name: when your own block rule is for that very
   name, it offers to remove the rule instead of an allow rule, which was
   refused as a second rule for the same name. It also names the rule that

+## Different blocking for different devices
+
+Client groups give some devices less or more blocking than the rest, like
+Pi-hole's groups: no blocking for a work laptop, an extra list for the
+kids' tablets.
+
+**Steps** decide which lists a device gets. Each step includes the lists
+of the steps below it, plus its own:
+
+| Step | Gets |
+|------|------|
+| `off` (built in) | only your rules |
+| `normal` (built in) | your rules and the normal lists; every device not in a group |
+| `strict` (one you add) | normal, plus the lists at step `strict` |
+| `very-strict` (one you add) | strict, plus the lists at step `very-strict` |
+
+Every list starts at a step (normal unless you choose one), and every
+group is at a step. Your rules apply at every step, `off` included.
+
+```sh
+jarl block step add strict
+jarl blocklist update social-media --step strict
+jarl block group add work 10.10.0.20 --step off
+jarl block group add kids 10.10.0.50 10.10.0.51 2001:db8:1::/64 --step strict
+jarl block group list
+```
+
+In the web UI, the Blocking page's **Devices** panel holds the steps and
+the groups, and each list has a step.
+
+- **Members** are addresses, networks (`10.10.0.0/24`), ranges
+  (`10.10.0.20-10.10.0.49`), or ACLs made only of those (`key`, `localnets` and `!` can't be used: blocking matches
+  clients by address). A device is in one group: two groups with the same
+  address are refused, but a more specific address in another group wins
+  (`10.10.0.0/24` in one group, `10.10.0.20` in another).
+- **Steps only add.** A group gets everything up to its step, so "kids get
+  list A, guests get list B, and neither gets the other's" can't be done
+  with steps. That needs a view per group, each with its own lists (and
+  their memory).
+- Lists aren't copied per step: each is loaded once, and the steps cost a
+  small zone each. Lists at a step no group reaches block nothing (Jarl
+  warns, and shows them as "no effect").
+- named must see the device's own address. When a router hands out itself
+  as DNS server and forwards to named, every query comes from the router,
+  and groups can't tell devices apart. Devices also need fixed addresses
+  (DHCP reservations); IPv6 privacy addresses change, so add a device's
+  network, or rely on its IPv4 address.

+# Internet exposure
+
+When a view (or the whole server) can be reached from the internet, a few
+things matter that don't on your own network: it shouldn't help attackers
+flood others with DNS answers (amplification), recurse for strangers, or
+tell scanners its exact version. Jarl works out which views are public,
+checks them, and stages the fixes for you to review.
+
+In the web UI: **Exposure** (and its card on the dashboard). In the CLI:
+`jarl exposure`. In the API: `GET /api/v1/exposure`.
+
+## Which views are public
+
+A view is **public** when its `match-clients` let in anyone: after ACLs
+and ranges are filled in, they end in a catch-all (`any`, `0.0.0.0/0`,
+`::/0`, or a prefix wider than /8 for IPv4 or /16 for IPv6), or they are
+empty, which named reads as "any". A typical external view
+(`match-clients { any; }` or `{ !internal; any; }`) is public.
+
+A view that lists the networks it serves is **private**, whatever kind of
+addresses those are. An internal view for your global IPv6 prefix
+(`2a02:8013:7f3d:10::/64`) is as private as one for `192.168.1.0/24`:
+listing a network says "these are mine". Jarl doesn't look at whether
+addresses are private (RFC 1918, ULA) for this, because on IPv6 your own
+devices have global addresses.
+
+A view whose `match-destinations` list only private addresses (it answers
+only on a private interface) is private too.
+
+**A server without views** has no match list, so Jarl looks at
+`allow-query` and where named listens: it is public when anyone may query
+it (`allow-query` unset, or with a catch-all) **and** named listens on an
+address that isn't private (a public IPv4 address or a global IPv6
+address of this host). This can't see your firewall, so it is a guess.
+
+**When Jarl gets it wrong**, override it per view: `public`, `private` or
+`auto`. For example, behind a NAT port forward named only ever sees
+private addresses although it is reachable from the internet.
+
+```sh
+jarl view update external --exposure public
+jarl settings set --exposure private          # a server without views

+
+| Code | What | Fix Jarl can stage |
+|------|------|-------------------|
+| `exposure_rate_limit` | No response rate limiting: the view can be used to flood others with its answers (DNS amplification) | `rate-limit { responses-per-second 10; log-only yes; exempt-clients { your secondaries }; }` |
+| `exposure_rate_limit_log_only` (info) | Rate limiting only logs | The same block without `log-only`: start enforcing |
+| `security_open_resolver` | Recursion for anyone: an open resolver | `recursion no` in that view |
+| `exposure_minimal_any` | ANY queries get full answers, a favourite for amplification | `minimal-any yes` |
+| `exposure_cache_snooping` | `allow-query-cache` lets anyone see what your clients look up | `allow-query-cache { none; }` |
+| `security_open_transfer` | Zone transfers for anyone | none: allow your secondaries or a TSIG key |
+| `exposure_open_notify` | `allow-notify` accepts NOTIFY from anyone | none: allow your primaries |
+| `exposure_version` | `dig CH TXT version.bind` shows the exact BIND version | `version none` |
+| `exposure_hostname` | `dig CH TXT hostname.bind` shows the host name | `hostname none` |
+| `exposure_management` | `controls` or `statistics-channels` on an address that isn't loopback, open to anyone | none: use 127.0.0.1 or an allow list |
+
+The last three are server-wide: they are checked when any view is public.
+
+A **fix** goes into your pending changes like any edit (or is applied at
+once in live mode), so you see the named.conf diff before it reaches named:
+
+```sh
+jarl exposure                                         # classification, findings, fixes
+jarl exposure fix external exposure_rate_limit
+jarl exposure fix server exposure_version
+```
+
+## Response rate limiting
+
+Response rate limiting (RRL, BIND's `rate-limit`) counts identical
+responses sent to the same client network. Past the limit, named drops
+some and "slips" others: it sends a short reply asking the client to retry
+over TCP (or with a DNS cookie). A real client does; the spoofed victim of
+an amplification attack never sees the answers it didn't ask for. ISC
+recommends it for authoritative servers only, so Jarl only suggests it for
+public views, never for your internal resolver.
+
+Jarl starts from ISC's example, 10 identical responses per second per
+client network, and exempts the servers your zones notify and allow
+transfers to (`also-notify` and `allow-transfer` addresses, through ACLs
+too): limiting your own secondaries is the classic RRL mistake.
+
+**Rollout in two steps:**
+
+1. The fix turns rate limiting on with `log-only yes`. named answers
+   everyone as before, but logs every response it *would* have limited.
+   With [query statistics](stats.md) on, Jarl reads those lines: the
+   Exposure page shows how many responses would have been limited, and
+   which client networks and names. Check that your secondaries,
+   monitoring, or a big shared resolver aren't among them (add them to
+   `exempt-clients` if they are).
+2. When you're happy, **Start enforcing** (the fix of
+   `exposure_rate_limit_log_only`) removes `log-only`.
+
+In log-only mode named's own counters don't move: what would be limited
+is only in its log (category `query-errors`). That is why the activity
+needs query statistics; without them, look at named's log for
+`would rate limit`. When rate limiting is configured and statistics are
+on, Jarl adds `query-errors` to its log channel (keeping named's syslog
+destination for it).
+
+The statistics also count it: the `rrl` breakdown (`drop`, `slip`,
+`would-drop`, `would-slip`), the `ratelimited` and `ratelimited_name` top
+lists, and in Prometheus `jarl_ratelimit_logged_total{action}` next to
+named's own `jarl_ratelimit_responses_total` ([metrics.md](metrics.md)).
+
+### Settings
+
+You can tune the block like any option; `option set` replaces the whole
+block, so copy the current value from `jarl option list --view external`
+and edit it:
+
+```sh
+jarl option set rate-limit '{ responses-per-second 20; window 15; slip 2; exempt-clients { 192.0.2.53; }; log-only yes; }' --view external
+```
+
+named counts **identical responses** to the same **client network** (a
+/24 for IPv4, a /56 for IPv6) over a **window**, and limits each kind of
+response separately. These are the settings (BIND 9.20; the ARM has the
+full text):
+
+| Setting | Default | What it does | When to change it |
+|---------|---------|--------------|-------------------|
+| `responses-per-second` | 0 (off) | Answers with data for the same name and type, per client network. Wildcard answers count as the zone's apex. This is the main limit; Jarl's fix sets 10 | Raise it if a legitimate network shows up in log-only mode, e.g. a large shared resolver (mobile carriers, public resolvers) asking for your popular names |
+| `nxdomains-per-second` | same as `responses-per-second` | NXDOMAIN answers (names that don't exist), counted together for a domain whatever the name asked | `0` turns NXDOMAIN limiting off, for zones that legitimately get many lookups of missing names |
+| `nodata-per-second` | same as `responses-per-second` | Empty answers (the name exists, the type doesn't), counted together whatever the type | Rarely |
+| `referrals-per-second` | same as `responses-per-second` | Referrals to child zones you delegate | Only if you delegate subdomains to other servers |
+| `errors-per-second` | same as `responses-per-second` | Other errors (REFUSED, SERVFAIL, FORMERR), counted together whatever the name | Rarely. REFUSED and SERVFAIL can't be truncated, so slipped ones still go out at the slip rate |
+| `all-per-second` | 0 (off) | All UDP answers to a client network, of any kind, like a firewall rate limit; over it, answers are only **dropped** (`slip` doesn't apply) | Usually leave off; if you use it, ISC says at least 4 times the other limits |
+| `window` | 15 seconds (1–3600) | How far back named counts. A client over the limit stays limited until its rate over the window falls again | Longer windows remember attackers longer and also punish short legitimate bursts longer |
+| `slip` | 2 (0–10) | Of the limited answers, every n-th "slips": instead of being dropped it gets a short reply asking the client to retry: truncated (TC) so it retries over TCP, or, when the query carried a DNS cookie, BADCOOKIE with a server cookie that lets it through on its retry. `0` drops all, `1` slips all | `1` if you'd rather every real client gets a retry hint; `0` drops all (spoofed victims see nothing, but real clients just time out) |
+| `ipv4-prefix-length` | 24 | The size of the client network answers are counted for (IPv4) | `32` counts each address on its own: fairer to neighbours, more memory |
+| `ipv6-prefix-length` | 56 | The same for IPv6 | `64` if one /56 holds many independent clients; `48` to treat a whole site as one |
+| `exempt-clients` | none | Address match list (addresses, prefixes, [ranges](concepts.md#model-views-zones-records-options), ACLs) that is never limited. Jarl's fix puts your secondaries here | Add monitoring, other servers of yours, and anything legitimate that log-only mode shows |
+| `log-only` | no | Count and log what would be limited, answer everyone normally | Jarl starts with `yes`; the "start enforcing" fix removes it |
+| `qps-scale` | off | When the total query rate is above this, all limits shrink in proportion (at a rate of 1000 with `qps-scale 250`, a limit of 20 becomes 5) | Only on busy servers that see attacks spread over many networks |
+| `max-table-size`, `min-table-size` | min 500 entries | The table of client networks named tracks (40–80 bytes per entry) | Only on busy servers |
+
+What Jarl checked against real named: TCP answers are never limited;
+`nxdomains-per-second` falls back to `responses-per-second` and `0`
+turns it off; NXDOMAIN answers for different missing names in a zone
+share one limit; `all-per-second` only drops; with `slip 1`, clients
+without DNS cookies get truncated answers, and clients with cookies (dig
+sends them by default) get through on their retry with the server's
+cookie; `exempt-clients` is never limited; in log-only mode nothing is
+limited and only the log shows what would be.
+
+Rate limiting is per view: put it in the external view (`--view
+external`). Set in the server options, it applies to every view that has
+none of its own, your internal resolver included, which RRL isn't meant
+for.
+
+## Confirming a change that opens a view up
+
+A change that *introduces* an open resolver, open zone transfers, cache
+snooping, open NOTIFY or an open management interface on a public view
+must be confirmed:
+
+- **Web UI:** the Changes page shows the finding with a checkbox (*I
+  understand: …*); **Apply** stays disabled until it is ticked.
+- **CLI:** the command stops (exit 5) and says why; run it again with
+  `--accept-risk`.
+- **API:** `accept_risk: true` in the apply body, or `?accept_risk=1` on a
+  change applied at once; without it the answer is 409 `confirm_risk`.
+  Previews (`GET /changesets/{id}/preview`) list them as `risks`.
+
+Only changes that newly open something up ask: an unrelated change to a
+view that is already open, or taking back an acknowledgement, doesn't.
+
+## Acknowledging a finding
+
+Some findings are deliberate: a public resolver for a club's network, a
+visible version string. Acknowledge them with a reason:
+
+```sh
+jarl exposure ack external security_open_resolver --reason "public resolver for the club, monitored"
+jarl exposure ack server exposure_version --reason "version shown on purpose"
+jarl exposure unack external security_open_resolver
+```
+
+The finding doesn't disappear: it stays visible as **info**, with who
+accepted it, when and why (*open resolver … (acknowledged by adam on 12
+Oct 2026: public resolver for the club, monitored)*), on the Exposure page,
+the dashboard and in `jarl check`. An acknowledgement covers that one
+finding on that one view (or the server); the same finding elsewhere
+warns as usual. Acknowledging is a configuration change like any other,
+so it is in the history and audit log, and can be reverted.
+
+Jarl isn't designed to run an open resolver, and an acknowledgement makes
+one deliberate and visible, not safe: a public resolver also needs abuse
+monitoring, response size limits and usually a machine of its own.
+

+# Prometheus metrics
+
+jarld can serve metrics for [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) at
+`/metrics`:
+- **health** you can alert on: named up, validation problems, files changed
+  outside Jarl, blocklists that fail to download, backup age, DNSSEC zones
+  waiting for you at the parent, and API tokens about to expire,
+- **queries**, once [query statistics](stats.md) are on: named's counters
+  (result codes, record types, cache, upstream times, DNSSEC validation, rate
+  limiting) and Jarl's own (responses per view and zone, blocked queries per
+  blocklist), plus named's memory, CPU, cache and sockets.
+
+Metrics are **off by default**. Everything is set in `/etc/jarl/jarl.yaml`;
+nothing is stored in the database.
+
+## Turning it on
+
+Prometheus on the same server needs only:
+
+```yaml
+metrics:
+  enabled: true
+```
+
+```sh
+sudo systemctl restart jarl
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8053/metrics | head
+```
+
+`/metrics` is served on the addresses in `listen` (and their TLS, if set)
+and on the local socket. Query counters also need `stats.enabled: true`
+([stats.md](stats.md)); without it you get only the health metrics.
+
+### Prometheus on another machine
+
+Give `/metrics` an address of its own and say who may scrape it:
+
+```yaml
+metrics:
+  enabled: true
+  listen: ["0.0.0.0:9450"]       # serves only /metrics, over plain HTTP
+  allow: ["192.168.1.20"]        # the Prometheus server
+```
+
+```yaml
+# prometheus.yml
+scrape_configs:
+  - job_name: jarl
+    static_configs:
+      - targets: ["dns.lan:9450"]
+```
+
+Or use a token instead of (or as well as) the address list. Any address
+that sends it may scrape:
+
+```yaml
+metrics:
+  enabled: true
+  listen: ["0.0.0.0:9450"]
+  token: "…"                     # e.g. from: openssl rand -hex 24
+```
+
+```yaml
+# prometheus.yml
+scrape_configs:
+  - job_name: jarl
+    authorization:
+      credentials: "…"           # or credentials_file: /etc/prometheus/jarl.token
+    static_configs:
+      - targets: ["dns.lan:9450"]
+```
+
+With a token in jarl.yaml, keep the file readable by root and jarld only
+(`chown root:jarl /etc/jarl/jarl.yaml; chmod 640 /etc/jarl/jarl.yaml`);
+jarld warns at start when everyone can read it. On `metrics.listen` the
+token travels unencrypted, so use it on a network you trust, or scrape the
+main listener over HTTPS instead (`scheme: https` and its port in
+Prometheus).
+
+### Settings
+
+| Key | Default | Meaning |
+|-----|---------|---------|
+| `metrics.enabled` | `false` | Serve `/metrics`. |
+| `metrics.listen` | `[]` | Extra `ADDRESS:PORT`s that serve only `/metrics`, over plain HTTP. |
+| `metrics.allow` | `["127.0.0.1", "::1"]` | Addresses or prefixes that may scrape without a token. Behind a reverse proxy in `trusted_proxies`, this is the client's address from `X-Forwarded-For`. `[]` with a token: the token is required everywhere. |
+| `metrics.token` | `""` | A bearer token (at least 16 characters) that lets any address scrape. |
+
+A scrape is allowed when it comes from an address in `allow`, **or**
+carries the token, **or** comes over the local socket from root or jarld's
+own user. A wrong token is refused (and counts towards the per-address
+limit on failed logins). Jarl's API tokens don't work for `/metrics`.
+
+The firewall must let Prometheus reach the port. `allow` is checked by
+jarld, not the kernel.
+
+## What is exported
+
+Everything is prefixed `jarl_`. The text format is checked with `promtool
+check metrics`.
+
+### Health (always)
+
+These are read at most every 15 seconds; a scrape in between gets the
+same values.
+
+| Metric | Meaning |
+|--------|---------|
+| `jarl_build_info{version}` | Always 1. |
+| `jarl_start_time_seconds` | When jarld started. |
+| `jarl_metrics_state_ok` | 0 when Jarl's state couldn't be read (see jarld's log). |
+| `jarl_adopted` | 1 when named loads Jarl's configuration. |
+| `jarl_named_up` | 1 when named answers `rndc status` (missing with `bind.no_reload`). |
+| `jarl_named_recursive_clients`, `…_soft_limit`, `…_limit` | Recursive clients now, and named's limits (`rndc status`). |
+| `jarl_named_tcp_clients`, `…_limit` | TCP clients now, and the limit. |
+| `jarl_open_changesets` | Changesets with staged changes not applied yet. |
+| `jarl_last_apply_timestamp_seconds` | When the last changeset was applied. |
+| `jarl_problems{severity}` | Validation problems (`error`, `warning`, `info`) as on the dashboard, including named's own warnings. |
+| `jarl_drifted_files` | Managed files changed or removed outside Jarl. |
+| `jarl_objects{kind}` | Views, zones, records, ACLs, TSIG keys and options. |
+| `jarl_backup_last_success_timestamp_seconds`, `jarl_backup_last_size_bytes` | The newest backup by `jarld backup`. |
+| `jarl_backup_last_failure_timestamp_seconds` | A failed backup newer than the last good one. |
+| `jarl_backup_stale` | 1 when the newest backup is older than `backup.warn_after`. |
+| `jarl_blocking_paused` | 1 while blocking is paused (only with blocklists or rules). |
+| `jarl_blocking_paused_until_timestamp_seconds` | When a timed pause ends. |
+| `jarl_blocklist_enabled{list}` | 1 for lists that are switched on. |
+| `jarl_blocklist_entries{list}` | Domains in the last good download. |
+| `jarl_blocklist_failing{list}` | 1 when the last download or check of an enabled list failed. |
+| `jarl_blocklist_last_check_timestamp_seconds{list}`, `jarl_blocklist_last_change_timestamp_seconds{list}` | When the list was last checked, and last changed. |
+| `jarl_dnssec_phase{zone,view,phase}` | Always 1, one per signed zone; `phase` is one of the [DNSSEC phases](dnssec.md). `ready` means: add the DS at the parent. `removing_ds`: remove it. |
+| `jarl_token_expiry_timestamp_seconds{id,user,token}` | When each API token with an expiry date expires. |
+
+### Queries (with `stats.enabled`)
+
+The counters start at zero when jarld starts (Prometheus handles that).
+named's counters move once a minute, when Jarl polls named's statistics
+channel. Counters from the response log (`responses`, views, zones,
+blocking) move as lines are read and need `stats.query_log`. Clients in
+`stats.exclude_clients` are left out of those. Names and clients are not
+exported, because there would be too many of them. Use the Statistics page
+for them.

+| `jarl_ratelimit_logged_total{action}` | Rate limited responses from named's log: `drop`, `slip`, and in log-only mode `would-drop`, `would-slip` ([exposure.md](exposure.md#response-rate-limiting)). |
+| `jarl_upstream_responses_by_rtt_total{rtt}` | Upstream answers during recursion by round-trip time (`<10ms` … `>1600ms`). |

+| `jarl_blocked_queries_total` | Queries blocking answered. |
+| `jarl_blocked_by_list_total{list}` | Blocked queries per blocklist; `rules` for your own rules. |

+| `jarl_named_sockets{proto}` | Open UDP and TCP sockets. |
+| `jarl_named_recursive_clients_highwater`, `jarl_named_tcp_clients_highwater` | The most clients at once since named started. |

+## View keys
+
+named picks a view by where a query comes from, so a query this server
+sends to its own public address usually lands in the internal view: its
+source is one of your own networks. That makes checks of the external view
+from the server itself (such as Jarl's delegation check) see the wrong
+view.
+
+So Jarl gives every view a TSIG key, `jarl-view-NAME`, and puts it at the
+front of the view's `match-clients`:
+
+```
+view "internal" {
+	match-clients { !key jarl-view-external; key jarl-view-internal; homelab; };
+	...
+view "external" {
+	match-clients { key jarl-view-external; any; };
+```
+
+A query signed with a view's key lands in that view, whatever its source;
+the `!key` stops an earlier view from taking a later view's queries.
+Clients don't send these keys, so for them nothing changes. Jarl signs its
+own queries to this server's addresses with the key of the zone's view.
+The keys live in `keys.conf` with your other keys, never in diffs or in
+`jarl tsig list`; their secrets are derived from a random value in Jarl's
+database (and in its backups), so they stay the same from one apply to
+the next. `jarl view key VIEW`
+shows one (it needs `tsig:write` and is audited). Key names starting with
+`jarl-view-` are reserved, and the view keys can be used in your own
+options (`allow-transfer { key jarl-view-external; }`).
